Priyanka Chopra’s brother, Siddharth Chopra, recently tied the knot with Neelam Upadhyaya, and the grand wedding has become the latest buzz. The celebrations were infused with rich Indian traditions, and what stole the show was Nick Jonas wholeheartedly embracing his role as the perfect ‘jiju’ (brother-in-law). The American singer and actor arrived from Los Angeles to be part of the wedding, fully immersing himself in the desi festivities.
Nick Jonas Performs Rituals Like a True Indian Brother-in-Law
The wedding was a beautiful blend of Hindu traditions, featuring Haldi, Mehendi, and Baraat ceremonies. Nick Jonas was seen performing his brother-in-law duties with dedication. In a video shared by Priyanka’s mother, Dr Madhu Chopra, Nick was spotted carrying a pooja ki thali with a varmala (garland) for the bride and groom. He looked elegant in a white Jodhpuri suit, but what caught everyone’s attention was the padgi (traditional turban) he wore. For those unfamiliar, the padgi is a significant accessory worn by close male relatives during Punjabi weddings, and Nick’s gesture won many hearts.
Priyanka and Nick Set the Dance Floor on Fire
A wedding in India is incomplete without music and dance, and Priyanka Chopra made sure to add an extra spark. A viral clip from the celebrations shows PeeCee grooving energetically to her iconic song Desi Girl from Dostana, while Nick Jonas gamely tried to match her steps. The couple’s chemistry on the dance floor became one of the wedding’s most cherished moments.
Heartwarming Moments and Family Bonding
The wedding was filled with emotional and memorable moments. Priyanka Chopra was seen supporting the bride, Neelam Upadhyaya, as she gracefully walked toward the stage. She also lovingly escorted her brother, Siddharth Chopra, to the mandap, showcasing her strong bond with him. Nick Jonas’ parents, Kevin Sr. and Denise Jonas, also participated in every ritual, blending seamlessly into the Indian wedding traditions.
While the wedding was a grand affair, it had limited Bollywood presence. Apart from Parineeti Chopra and veteran actress Rekha, no major stars attended. Bollywood icons like Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Amitabh Bachchan, Karan Johar, and Akshay Kumar, despite their past collaborations with Priyanka, chose to skip the celebration.
